Hound found

So, according to People magazine's interview with Michelle Obama, it's official: first dog in the Obama White House is to be a Portuguese water hound, a breed originally bred to be a working dog by Portuguese fishermen. The water hound meets the Obamas' hypoallergenic requirements and swims well, thanks to webbed feet. It looks like a cross between a poodle and a terrier (clue: it is). Good choice?
